Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

As we previously reported here, the Hasbro panel (and display case) at SDCC '12 confirmed that we'd finally see these at US retail as a TRU exclusive.

It should be noted that these First Editions aren't exact duplicates of the first run First Editions from last year.

This production run has two widely reported issues: -Optimus is missing paint apps on his doors, shown here.-Bulkhead's arms have a bicep swivel joint that has a stress mark on both pegs. (There are no reported breaks, just stress marks. The stress marks are hidden when the arms are attached.) Due to this the arms tend to pop off during transformation or posing.

Please, remember to use our sightings forum, here, to post your latest findings, it really does help your fellow board members and friends!

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news and updates!

I thought I'd jump at the chance to get these, but I only want Bulkhead. And even then, he'll be a placeholder for Takara's version.

I'll have to get the original release of Optimus. This re-release's color scheme changed in the wrong way

Kinda upsets me that there are issues with these. They are obviously extremely wanted figures, as they were in their first run. And after getting the GDO Cliffjumper, superior molds over the RID Prime figures. I mean come on, the only reason they re-released them was the outcry over how extremely limited they were in the first place. Kinda makes me wonder if they made the paint app changes just to keep the first ones value up....

I'm sure the paint app change was a mistake, it mirrors the change on the translucent Optimus. However, I don't think there will be more than one run, so it's not going to be fixed. As for Blukhead, the issue obviously lies in this run being made of a less sturdy plastic. :\

Old fasioned games!And new fashioned friends!Come on everybody this is Ta-ble Flip!

stopped by TRU on my way home and to my surprised they restocked, well kinda. They had new prime voyagers but no first editions(unfortunately they were $26.99 so no dreadwing or magnus for me). i told them to go frak them selves (im not kidding either i told an employee that TRU can go f them selves & he said im not the first to say that). But anyway with a little digging i found a FE Arcee, but in order to get the deal i had to get a FE starscream since it was the only other TFP deluxe. Deciding if i want to sell it or repaint it into slipstream. Well if anyone really really wants the starscream ill sell it to them for $100, just kidding im not a douchebag scalper but if your interested PM me your offer and best one wins.

EDIT: question, are the deluxes the same as the first run o rare they different like the voyagers?
